Can anyone suggest a browser that only displays text, so I could surf websites at a decent speed when my upload is consumed by torrent and stuff? It feels worse than 56K when I sur while downloading.

Someone posted about Lynx a few days ago, search for that.

Thats a DOS browser, innit?

http://lynx.browser.org/

*NIX, actually, but ported.

In IE: Tools Internet Options... Advanced Multimedia Uncheck "Show pictures"

Opera: View Style User Mode Emulate Text Browser.

Or for a nicer look, shift-F11 for the small screen browser.

Any browser > 'Do Not Display Images' option.

..........

Yeah but that keeps the HTML elements like tables and the image placeholders are typically there.

Yeah, but the tables are just layout and consume almost no bandwidth.

Speaking of bandwidth, it would seem to be a waste of Toxicbug's bandwidth to download the World's Least Popular Browser.

Lynx? Yeah, people use that.

No,we mean the browser that start with an O and has less than 2% use on the web. YOu know, that POS you swear buy like an ignorant cunt who got drawn in buy their sorry lying excuse for PR.

wow.

Indeed. The kid gets all bent out of shape when his freeby piece of shit Linux browser gets crushed and trashed by Opera.

Simply the BEST browser on Earth, the FASTEST browser on the planet: Opera.

And they charge you for it :lol:

i wonder how many people here would want to punch you square in the jaw, given the chance. i'm sure 4gent would be up for it. he has alot of pent up anger within it seems. rawwr.

Their fatty fat hands would melt into me, like the cheese burger they just root*#//installed//___+'d into their flabby ass. Then I'd crush them with my eyelashes.

There's one for linux called "links" that's a shitload better than Lynx. I'll see if I can track down a Winders port.

Hate to admit it (especially since Rep mentioned it first) but Opera IS the fastest browser out there.

The difference is negligable at best.

Says some guy with a site no one had ever heard of before, based on tests on an 800 mhx P3 with 256 mb of RAM. Holy shit, lets end it all, those results must ALWAYS be true for everyone!

Hmm, I just noticed he has an entire page devoted to bullshit Opera stuff...

Shhh, the entire army of open-sourced idiots couldn't disprove any of it under fair circumstances.

Opera wins. You lose.

Opera does suck dude..

ie is is bundled with an operating system because these days it's as important to include a browser as it is a text editor. mozilla/firefox is a free open-source alternative that runs on the same operating system. that's why folks talk about and compare the two.

opera does what it's supposed to do, but its £25. that's why folks don't give a fuck about it. who cares if it's marginally faster or supports more tabs?

edit, that links thing needs cygwin?

i think bobcat is the name of the windows version of lynx.
